Three Durham Region municipalitiesare in the top 10 of a measure of the health of local democracy in large Ontario com-munities.Whitby is second, while Clarington is third in the study of 32 municipalities, acollaboration between Armstrong Strat-egy Group and Unlock Democracy Cana-da. Ajax finished in fifth, while Oshawa was 25th and Pickering 26th.The City of Peterborough came infirst, while Richmond Hill was last. The municipalities were measuredagainst four metrics to determine thestrongest local democracy. The metricswere voter turnout; gender balance; re- presentation for Black, Indigenous andpeople of colour; and user experiencewithin the system.The study's author, Dave Meslin, a se- nior associate for democratic innovationwith Armstrong Strategy Group, saidthat based on the four metrics, local de- mocracy measures need improvement."There are some standout communi-ties in Ontario, and it's a positive sign tosee local democracy flourishing in com- munities like Peterborough," Meslinsaid.In terms of voter turnout, Ajax ranked 22nd, ahead of all other Durham commu-nities. Pickering was 25th, Clarington26th, Whitby 31st and Oshawa 32nd.Whitby was third when it came to gen- der balance on council, as five of the ninecouncil members are women. Ajax wasninth, with three of seven council mem- bers women. Clarington was 11th, whileOshawa was 27th and Pickering was deadlast at 32, as all council members aremen. Pickering was the only municipal- ity in the survey with an all-male coun-cil.On diversity on a council, Clarington ranked the lowest in Durham, while Ajaxand Pickering both had the highest ra-tios of Durham municipalities.The user experience had several com- ponents, including civics, budget partici-pation, an election finance subsidy, theelectoral system used, voting optionsand hospitality, such as allowing food and drinks during a council meeting.On civics, Pickering was praised forits Pickering 101 program.

AJAX MON-WED/SAT: 9AM-6pM, THURS/FRI: 9AM-7pM SUN AND HOlIDAyS: 10AM-5pM @macmillanorchards1953 NEW CROP!!! & FRESH CIDER The Durham DistrictSchool Board is dealingwith an "extreme rate" of staff absenteeism thatcould result in school clo-sures as a last resort. Director of EducationNorah Marsh told trusteesat the October standingcommittee meeting that the absences "are due mostly toCOVID-19 management"and noted it's a challengebeing seen across the prov-ince."We are getting danger-ously close in some situa- tions in terms of having tomake the tough decisionthat the school cannot oper-ate on that particular day due to high staff absentee-ism. Of course, that's going to be a last resort," Marshsaid. The DDSB also facedthis issue last year — butnot until the spring whenCOVID-19 screening rules were tightened."We are feeling the pres-sure much earlier and it is a higher gap in terms of thevacancies we currentlyhave," Marsh said.DDSB Superintendent Heather Mundy says strate-gies are in place to increasethe pool of available supplystaff including speeding upthe process to get criminalrecord checks and vaccina-tion status information from new supply staff.The reasons for the staffshortages are complex.They include COVID-19 screening and isolationrules, more short-term sick leave due to staff burnout,parenting and caregiving responsibilities related toCOVID-19 and occasionalteachers that are hesitantto accept jobs due to the pandemic. In normal circumstanc-es, two classes could be merged if a school wasshort on teachers, but pan-demic protocols mean dif-ferent cohorts of students can't be combined at the ele-mentary level.Compounding the situa-tion is the fact that retired educators have a limit onhow many days they canwork each school year. "Once they've met thatthreshold and they come offour list, the teacher short-age across the province is going to become even moredire," Marsh says.

OPINION TO LEARN HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR OWN CONTENT VISIT DURHAMREGION.COM I wasn't going to write about blue jays migrating this fall, for I didn't thinkmany would. Great crops of acorns I saw along the shores of Lake Huron in August suggested jays would be happy in Ontario for months. Plump green acorns I couldn't resist col-lecting for a little "guerril- la planting" back here in Durham Region. Native red oaks are valuable to many animals besides blue jays. But then Tyler Hoarsent out his Winter Finch Forecast, reporting sparse beechnuts and hazelnuts, other jay favourites,throughout northeastern forests. Plus I started hear- ing about big jay flocksstreaming by, at least five reports in as many days. Cyndy Fournier sent me an amazing video of morethan a dozen mobbing her feeder in south Oshawa, and told me of hundreds flying over her house every morning that week. So I changed my mind and put blue jay migrationback on the roster for a Great Outdoors column, even though by the time this appears most of the big blue-and-white corvids that decided to go south will already be well ontheir way. Migrating by day, in long, low, strung-out flocks, jays fly from wood- lot to woodlot, where they can hide from predators in the tree canopy. Goes toshow how smart they are, timing their long journey before leaves fall. Some sharp-shinnedhawks seem to time their own migration to that of blue jays, for they're oftenseen following them. Fe- male sharpies, larger than males, have more of a chance of grabbing an un-wary jay for lunch along the route. Food availability is a big factor in the timing of other raptors' migration as well. American kestrels leave early, before all the grasshoppers, cicadas anddragonflies they feed on disappear. Broad-winged hawks take off before frogs and snakes retire from sight due to dropping tem- peratures. But there are lots of red-tailed hawks still to come, pausing along their route to hunt for meadow voles, field mice and other small animals in roadside vege- tation. As winter settles in some of these big open-country buteos will still be stationed in trees along Durham roads and high- ways, peering down intent-ly for any rustling in the grass. And while thousands ofturkey vultures have al- ready soared past Ontario hawk watch stations and are long gone to Mexico,more will be coming — great entertainment for anyone looking up to the skies on the right day, with the right winds. Some vul- tures stay on roadkill pa- trol up until snowfall.Then it's up to the ravens.

BIG FLOCKS OF BLUE JAYS STREAMING BY MARGARET CARNEYNOTES HUNDREDS OFBLUE JAYSMIGRATING SOUTH OSHAWA AIRPORT SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN To the editor: It is past 10 p.m. on Sept.29, 2021 and about time forresidents of Whitby andOshawa to go to sleep. But we can't as propellerplanes are taking to the skyevery five minutes. This is a constant with the Osha-wa Executive Airport. It doesn't matter if it isday or night or the season, the noise from these planesis deafening. We can't sleepor enjoy our properties in the daytime. These planesfly low, fly in circles andtake off every few minutes. There are two primary concerns with the opera-tion of the airport: noiseand safety. Noise disruptsthe life of residents livingin a large radius from theairport.I asked Transportation Canada (TC) and the Min- istry of Transportation(MOT) to take firm actions. The airport in a crowdedneighbourhood does notserve any purpose andtherefore should be shut down for good. Residents of Whitby andOshawa expect TC and the MOE will take immediateaction.KELLY WIGHTWHITBY PRICEY 'GOLDEN GOODBYES' FOR MPS WHO LOST To the editor:The Canadian Taxpay-ers Federation estimatesthat the MPs who lost theirseats or stood down beforethe election could get $3.3million in "golden good- byes." Fifty-one MPs qualifyfor a severance chequeworth half their salary, some $92,900 or more ifthey were a cabinet minis- ter or chaired a committee.I am flabbergasted at this figures. Why are theygetting severance in thefirst place? If an MP stooddown to me it is like quit- ting your job. In the realworld there would be noseverance. These MPs are getting apretty hefty salary and ex-pense money as it is. I haveyet to know what they do for their salary.Government spendingis out of control and theseMPs are laughing all the way to the bank on thebacks of the taxpayers.MARJORIE SEYMOURPICKERING SIGN UP FOR OUR WEEKLY NEWSLETTER AT DURHAMREGION.COM LETTERS & COMMENTARY MARGARET CARNEY Column 7 | Pic k e r i n g N e w s A d v e r t i s e r | P | T h u r s d a y , O c t o b e r 2 1 , 2 0 2 1 dur h a m r e g i o n . c o m @cityofpickering Weekly Community Page October 21 Customer Care Centre 905.683.7575 (24 hour line) customercare@pickering.capickering.ca COVID-19CityResponse GetthelatestinformationonCityservices,closures, businesssupports,communityresources,andmore atpickering.ca/covid19.

I would say that'sgreat," says Oshawa parentLeigh Ryan, who has chil-dren in kindergarten andGrade 2. "My kids are sohappy to be going ... theydon't mind wearing masks and having to follow thedifferent COVID rules.They're happy they can seetheir friends." Data shows there aremore COVID cases and out- breaks in Durham schoolsthis year compared to fall 2020 — although the rate ofnew cases has stabilizedand slowed in October. As of Oct. 18, 196 CO- VID-19 cases have been re-ported in Durham schools,along with 14 school out-breaks and one school clo-sure.At the same point lastyear there were 73 cases in Durham schools, four out-breaks and zero school clo-sures.Some of this year's school outbreaks are alsobigger than what was seen last fall.One major difference from last year is vaccina-tions. Eighty-three per cent ofDurham youth ages 12 to 17 have at least one dose ofCOVID-19 vaccine and 78per cent are fully vaccinat-ed.The most recent staffvaccination data from theDDSB shows 86 per cent of school board employeesand trustees have attestedto being fully vaccinated,either with or without sup- porting documentation. AtDurham's Catholic board that number is 90 per cent. While many parents arehappy with the return to the classroom, teachers arestruggling with many as-pects of this school year. "Mental health and mo-rale in schools is at an all-time low," says Mary Fowl-er, president of the Durham local of the ElementaryTeachers' Federation ofOntario. "Teachers are trying to bridge the gaps in learningfor their students whilethere are staffing shortag- es and increased demandsfrom the board."Teacher unions arepressing the province to improve COVID-19 safetymeasures. The Ontario English Catholic Teachers Associa-tion (OECTA) launched a"Safe Schools Now" cam- paign calling for smallerclass sizes, rapid COVIDtesting and ventilation up-grades. At the high school level,teachers have concernsabout the quadmester sys- tem, which sees studentstake two courses as a timeinstead of four.Shane Stagg, president of the Durham local of theOntario Secondary SchoolTeachers' Federation, says the high school schedule isbest suited to four classes aday organized into 75-min-ute periods, with a prep pe- riod for teachers. "Without daily preptime, the workload ofteachers becomes unman- ageable and the lack of sup-port through collaborationwith colleagues leads to isolation and stress withnewer teachers being par-ticularly vulnerable,"Stagg says. High school students inDurham are also strug- gling with the 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. bell times, implement-ed in response to a schoolbus driver shortage that has been exacerbated bythe pandemic.Students say the sched-ule is affecting their ability to hold part-time jobs, carefor younger siblings afterschool and participate in extracurriculars."Students have found itextremely difficult to endat 4. I've heard from quite a few students that they haveto leave class early just toget to work on time," says Kayla Malcolm, a DDSBstudent trustee.

The Project The Durham-Scarborough Bus Rapid Transit corridor is a proposed transportation corridor connecting people through Durham Region and Scarborough. With rapid growth in the past decade and an expectation for this growth to continue in the future, demand for travel along the corridor will continue to increase and a higher capacity form of transit will link communities and employment on both sides of the Toronto-Durham boundary. An Initial Business Case was completed in Spring 2018 to define the corridor and identify initial project costs, benefits and direction. Metrolinx is committed to continued community engagement on this project and is now studying the potential environmental impacts and proposed mitigation measures for the Durham-Scarborough Bus Rapid Transit corridor. The Durham-Scarborough Bus Rapid Transit Project proposes approximately 36 kilometres of dedicated transit infrastructure, connecting Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering and Scarborough. This project builds on the existing PULSE service and will provide more dedicated infrastructure along Highway 2 and Ellesmere Road to connect to Scarborough Centre. The proposed project will include dedicated bus lanes, road expansion and modifications, and bus shelters/platforms and infrastructure to support the new Bus Rapid Transit. The Process The Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP), as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08 made under theEnvironmental Assessment Act,is now commencing for the proposed Durham-Scarborough Bus Rapid Transit project. The TPAP is a proponent-driven, self-assessment process that provides a defined framework to follow to complete the accelerated assessment of the potential environmental effects and decision-making within the up to 120-day regulated assessment timeline. As part of the TPAP, an Environmental Project Report (EPR) is being prepared. Following this period, interested persons will have an opportunity to review the EPR during a regulated 30-day period, followed by a regulated 35-day review period by the Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks. Consultation We thank everyone for their feedback to date. During the TPAP, Metrolinx will host virtual Public Information Centre #4, as detailed below. The purpose of this consultation is to obtain feedback on the preliminary design. At Public Information Centre #4, you will have the chance to: • Review the proposed Bus Rapid Transit preliminary design, ask questions, and share ideas to help fine tune the plans. • Learn more about matters that are of interest to the Province – such as natural environment, cultural heritage, and Indigenous affairs – and understand how to provide feedback on these issues. Public Information Centre #4 Thursday,October 21from 6:30 p.m. 8:00 p.m. Tuesday,October 26from 6:30 p.m. 8:00 p.m. Thursday,October 28from 6:30 p.m. 8:00 p.m. Register for and attend one of these virtual, fully accessible events on Metrolinx Engage at www.metrolinxengage.com/DSBRT Online Engagementwill be open from Thursday,October 14to Thursday,November 11, 2021 Participants will be able to provide feedback during the Virtual Events and by completing an online survey. The project team will present and seek feedback on the preliminary design, potential impacts, and proposed mitigation measures. Following the online engagement, the Project Team will consider the input received, prepare the Environmental Project Report, and publish the Notice of Completion of the Environmental Project Report. The Environmental Project Report will then be available for public review and comment.

Thisfast?Named the OHL player of the week his second weekin the league, the Oakville,Ont., native notched fourpoints on two goals and two assists on Sunday night tobring his tally to ninepoints in just five games asthe Generals dumped thePeterborough Petes 6-3.It was a good night for afew other Gens, too, as Lley- ton Moore snagged fourhelpers, Ty Tullio scoredhis first of the season andhad a pair of assists, Ryan Stepien stayed hot with apair of goals to bring his tal-ly to six on the season, and Matthew Buckley hit forhis first goal of his OHL ca-reer. On Friday night in Ot- tawa, the Generals got re-venge for a ThanksgivingDay thrashing by the 67's by beating them 4-1 with Ritch-ie scoring, Stepien scoringapair and Ryan Gagnier getting his first of the sea-son.Patrick Leaver, a rookie,grabbed both wins between the pipes for the perfectweekend for Oshawa.Ritchie, just 16, was the second overall pick in thissummer's OHL draft andwas expected to be a star.He has shown that and proven Oshawa GM RogerHunt knew his stuff bycomparing the youngster to Bruins legend Patrice Ber-geron, predicting Ritchiewould play a great two-waygame. He's done that, takingfaceoffs and winning themin both offensive and defen-sive zones, being a standouton the power play andshowing a knack for play-making and finishing. And he's responsible in his ownend too.Stepien and Leaver havebeen unexpected surprises, perhaps."He was a big scorer inminor midget," said Hunt about Stepien, who is a 19-year-old coming into hisown. "He's an elder states- man on our team, he's thatguy and I'm just happy forhim. He's on pace for a real good season."As for 18-year-old Leav-er, in his first OHL season, Hunt said he's shown goodplay so far this young sea-son. Leaver started theopening game of the sea- son, a tough 3-2 home loss toHamilton, but earned bigwins this weekend. "The good thing is we'vegot three good goalies here.It's a bit of a headache forme. We're happy," said Hunt.The Generals go rightback at it against the Petes in the second of 12 regular-season meetings this sea-son when they face off inPeterborough Thursday night. They're back homeFriday to meet the NiagaraIceDogs at 7:35 p.m. and Ot-tawa for the third time al- ready on Sunday at 6:05p.m. There are no atten-dance limits at the Tribute Communities Centre butall fans 12 and over must bedouble-vaccinated againstCOVID-19 and present proof.The Generals sit infourth place in the East Di- vision, three points back offirst-place Hamilton, whichhas yet to lose a game. Ryan Stepien (16) of the Oshawa Generals wants it just a little more than Sam Alfano of the Peterborough Petes. Stepien scored on the empty net on this play for his second of the game and sixth of the season to wrap up a 6-3 Generals win on Sunday in Oshawa.

"The extent of Constable Sowa's mis-conduct was to such a degree that the suit-ability of him remaining a police officer onthis service has been nullified," tribunal hearing officer Terence Kelly, a retireddeputy chief with York Regional Police,wrote in a Sept. 27 ruling. Sowa, who pleaded not guilty to allega-tions of discreditable conduct arising fromthe allegations, was found guilty on allcounts in November of 2017. "The public does not expect an officer tobehave in the way Constable Sowa didwhen dealing with the complainants in this matter," Kelly commented. "Membersof the community expect more from policeofficers and his actions created the poten- tial to damage the reputation of the Dur- ham Regional Police Service."Sowa's disciplinary process has beenongoing for years. According to an agreed statement of facts read into the record, theincidents that led to complaints against So-wa took place in 2016, and followed a simi-lar pattern. In one instance, a woman and her fathercame to the front desk at the Oshawa policestation to report a sexual assault. Sowa re- plied that he was not a sexual assault in-vestigator and provided the two with thegeneral phone number for Durham police.Sowa urged the two to go home and call the number he'd provided, according to thefacts read into the record.In an incident two days later two women came to the front desk to report a threaten-ing incident, the tribunal heard. Sowa pro-vided the women with the police phonenumber. The women, who had children with them, chose to remain in the lobby at the sta-tion but were advised by Sowa to leave."He stated they should consider goinghome because their children were too loud and it was likely to be some time before anofficer could assist them," the agreed factsstated. In another incident, when a complain-ant came to the station to report a suicidalperson, Sowa "would not provide assis-tance" and sent the person away with a number to call, according to charges filedby the service.Testifying in his own defence in 2017, So- wa rejected the notion he had given thecomplainants short shrift. He contendedthat providing them with the dispatchnumber ensured they would be put in touch with officers who could directly ad-dress their issues.Sowa explained that as an officer staff- ing the front desk at the station, he didn'thave the ability to track down suspects orintervene in a mental health crisis.
